How to use user defined font on Forge design automation with AutoCAD Plot API

问题

We are using the Forge Plot API to plot DWGs to PDF/JPG. A customer came up with DWGs that are using a special TTF-Font called ROBBI.TTF. I suppose this font has to be uploaded to the Forge server before it can be used. Is it possible to upload the font once, so that it can be used for all our plot jobs? If not: What is the best way to plot using a custom TTF font?

Thomas, yes, you can wrap custom fonts in your apppackage bundle under Contents folder and refer the path to SupportPath attribute.

<Components>
    <RuntimeRequirements
        OS="Win64"
        Platform="AutoCAD" 
        SupportPath="./Contents/"/>
    <ComponentEntry
        AppName="CustomPlotter"
        ModuleName="./Contents/PlotLayout.dll"
        AppDescription="AutoCAD.IO Reset Plot Layout"
        LoadOnCommandInvocation="True"
        LoadOnAutoCADStartup="False">
      <Commands GroupName="PlotLayoutCommands">
        <Command Global="FPDPLOT" Local="FPDPLOT"/>
      </Commands>
    </ComponentEntry>
  </Components>
